My Body, My Temple

This is MY body. MY temple. MY fortress,
It doesn't come with permissions through the way that I dress.

You have zero rights to do what you please,
If I show some skin, it doesn't make me a tease. 

You cannot grab my cookie and expect to be safe,
You should however prepare to be clocked in the face.

As a woman who's been silent for way too long,
Nows the time to stand up and its time to be strong.

When I dress my body its for my own pleasure,
Not for you to go forcefully digging for treasure.

When I dress provocatively it is NOT for your ease,
It certainly doesn't mean I belong on my knees. 

I choose to dress in all sorts of ways,
Depending on what I'm needing those days.

To feel powerful, confident, sexy or comfortable,
Not for you to sit there and judge if I'm able. 

Women keep rising because we are unbreakable,
We come back harder, stronger and less amenable. 

You don't own me, my body, or my rights,
So stop trying to dominate the women who bring you life.
